Band Spotlight

If you haven't heard of Hillview yet, they're a new melodic punk band from Los Angeles featuring Ten Foot Pole bassist Chris Del Rio and Eddie Carrasco of Union 13. They recently released three brand new songs titled "Find the Way", "Pictures of You", and "No One Else to Blame".
The band describes their sound as "Hard hitting. In your face. Melodic Punk", and these songs definitely deliver on that promise. Think a little heavier, faster Ten Foot Pole... I recommend giving all three tracks a listen here.
